cheers for that snippet of info and comment mate dave also sold at a nice price
Nice to see it again Ewan....a great piece for sure! I have also read somewhere that the HJ buckle was also introduced to the youngsters as too many were being considered members of the SA and were targets of rival groups such as the communists....not sure if that is legit or not - but it's food for thought anyways.
Cheers - and congrats again on this recent pickup!
